USER MANUAL
WD My Cloud EX2 allows you to create and manage iSCSI targets. The iSCSI target
provides storage, similar to a local hard disk drive, but is accessed over a network rather
then locally. The iSCSI target is protected by the underlying RAID structure of the WD My
Cloud EX2 server.
iSCSI Roles
 Initiator: A client computer that accesses storage devices using iSCSI commands
over an IP network.
 Target: A network-attached storage device that provides access to logical disks
(which can be created on the WD My Cloud EX2 server).

1. On the navigation bar, click Storage to display the Storage screen.
